1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 4, length (l) = 9, and width (w) = 8. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
288
18
189
54

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 4 x 9 x 8
v = 288


2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


3

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

45% Answer Correctly

trisects

midpoints

intersects

bisects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 6. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
27π
200π
144π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(62 x 4)
v = 144π


5

Simplify (2a)(3ab) + (6a2)(6b).

65% Answer Correctly
42a2b
30ab2
-30a2b
42ab2

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(2a)(3ab) + (6a2)(6b)
(2 x 3)(a x a x b) + (6 x 6)(a2 x b)
(6)(a1+1 x b) + (36)(a2b)
6a2b + 36a2b
42a2b
